Due to a change in Windows 3.1, the Turbo Pascal for Windows IDE will not always correctly refresh the status line (displayed at the bottom of the window). Although this problem is cosmetic and does not affect the functionality of the editor, it can be corrected easily by running a simple patch program.

To run the patch program, unzip IDEPATCH.ZIP into your TPW directory and type the following command at the DOS prompt:

PATCH PATCH_31.TPW TPW.EXE

Note that there is no harm in running the patch twice. This patch will work on all versions of Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.0 (including international versions).

2. Windows 3.1 API interface units

Unzip the .PAS files inside PASCAL.ZIP into your TPW directory. WIN31.PAS contains all the Windows 3.1 API additions or modifications made in USER.EXE, KERNEL.EXE and GDI.EXE. PASCAL.ZIP also contains a number of interface units for new Windows 3.1 DLLs.

3. TDW.ZIP

TDW.ZIP contains an updated version of WINDEBUG.DLL. Unzip TDW.ZIP into your TPW directory and overwrite the previous version of WINDEBUG.DLL. Note that this updated version of WINDEBUG.DLL works with TDW 2.50 and TDW 3.00.

*** Note that even with the updated WINDEBUG.DLL, there are known problems when using TDW with the Windows 3.1 debugging kernel (available with the Microsoft SDK). You may encounter other Windows 3.1 incompabilities as well.

4. Demonstration Programs

Note that the demonstration programs all use functions in DLLs that are newly included with Windows 3.1. You must have Windows 3.1 to use these programs.
